Preparing The 7535 For Operation

2.1 Preparing The 7535 For Operation

Typically, 7535 hand-helds are conﬁgured at the factory and arrive ready for use.

Although the 7535 is equipped with an internal Compact Flash and SD I/O slot,

these slots are not intended for user modiﬁcation. If a device needs to be changed or

added in these slots, contact qualiﬁed Psion Teklogix personnel. Refer to

Appendix A: Support Services And Worldwide Ofﬁces for the service number

closest to you.

2.1.1 Equipment You Need To Get Started

You’ll need:

• A 7535 compatible battery charger, docking station or portable docking

module (PDM) with power supply.

• An operating wireless network (if you are not operating the equipment in

batch mode).

• A medium Phillips head screwdriver.

2.1.2 Charging The Battery

Important: The 7535 uses a high capacity Lithium-Ion battery. It is critical

that you review the battery safety guidelines in “Lithium-Ion

Battery Safety Precautions” on page 252 before charging the

battery.

Batteries shipped from the factory are not charged. They must be fully charged prior

to use. Full capacity may not be reached until at least 5 full charge/discharge cycles

have been performed.

7535 batteries can be charged using a gang charger or the 7535 internal charger.

When using the internal charger, a suitable power source is required. All chargers

and docking stations are described in Chapter 7: Peripheral Devices & Accessories

beginning on page 254.

2.1.3 Attaching Carrying Accessories

Psion Teklogix recommends that a carrying accessory – a hand strap, pistol grip or

shoulder strap – be installed on the 7535 before use.

If your hand-held is not ﬁtted with a hand strap or pistol grip, you can install either

using the carrying accessory kit supplied. You’ll need:

• A Phillips head screwdriver.

The Battery

32 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual

3.2 The Battery

The 7535 hand-held operates with a Lithium-Ion battery pack. Preparing the

hand-held unit for operation requires that a battery pack be charged and installed in

the unit.

3.2.1 Battery Safety

Important: Before attempting to install, use or charge the battery pack, it is

critical that you review and follow the important safety guidelines

in the section entitled “Lithium-Ion Battery Safety Precautions”

beginning on page 252.

3.2.2 Removing And Installing The Battery Pack

Note: TURN OFF THE 7535 HAND-HELD BEFORE REMOVING THE

BATTERY PACK. If you do not turn the hand-held off before removing

the battery, it may be necessary to reboot the unit. Any active sessions

will be lost.

sories beginning on page 249. For battery safety, refer to “Lith-

ium-Ion Battery Safety Precautions” beginning on page 252.

All batteries must be charged before use. The 7535 battery can be charged with a

variety of chargers. These include:

• 6-Gang Charger (Model #HU3006) – charges up to six Lithium-Ion batter-

ies at one time.

• Portable Docking Module (Model #HU4001 or HU1005 and HU3220 or

HU3220) – charges the 7535 battery (with the battery installed in the unit).

• Combo Charger (Model #HU3002) – a desktop charger that charges the

7535 internal battery along with a spare battery pack.

Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535

Switching The 7535 Hand-Held On And Off

34 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual

• Combo Docking Station (Model #HU4002) – operates as both a charger

and a docking station. Operating as a charger, both the battery installed in

the computer and a spare battery can be charged simultaneously.

• Quad Docking Station (Model #HU4004) – can charge the battery of up to

four 7535s inserted in the docking station while transferring data through an

Ethernet connection.

• Powered Cradle (Model #HU1000, HU1010) – can charge the 7535 with

the battery installed in the hand-held.

It can take from 1.5 to 4 hours to charge a battery. The 7535’s intelligent charging

system protects the battery from over-charging by terminating the charge process

when the battery is at maximum capacity.

Note: Refer to “Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time” on page 53

for additional information about the 7535 battery.

Important: To avoid damaging the battery, chargers will not begin the charge

process until the battery temperature is between 0˚C (32˚F) and

39˚C (102˚F). If the battery is too hot or cold, the battery status

LED ﬂashes yellow and the charge is suspended. Refer to

Table 3.1, “Charge LEDs” on page 43 for details.

3.3 Switching The 7535 Hand-Held On And Off

Switching On The 7535

• Press and hold down the <ENTER/ON> key for at least one second.

• When all four LEDs ﬂash orange, release the <ENTER/ON> button.

Windows® CE. net logo appears followed by the startup desktop.

Note: If the 7535 is in suspend state, pressing <ENTER/ON> key ‘wakes’ the

unit from this state. The screen in which you were working before the

computer entered suspend state is displayed.

Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 35

Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535

The Keyboard

Switching Off The 7535

Important: Keep in mind that turning off the 7535 does not result in a

complete reboot; rather, the unit enters a power-saving,

“suspend” state. When the 7535 is turned on from suspend state,

operation resumes within a few seconds.

To switch off the 7535:

• Press the <BLUE> key, and then press the <ENTER/ON> key.

Important: If the word ‘BLUE’ is displayed in uppercase in the taskbar area

at the bottom of the screen, this key is locked “on” – the 7535 will

not switch off. Press the <BLUE> key again to unlock it; then

press <BLUE> <ENTER/ON> to switch the 7535 off.

If, however, you’ve disabled the “Blue Key” in the ‘One Shot’ dia-

logue box (see “Keyboard One Shot Modes” on page 94), the 7535

can be turned off even when the <BLUE> key is locked ‘on’.

3.4 The Keyboard

The 7535 offers two types of keyboard layouts – a 58-key keyboard and a 36-key,

large button keyboard. Most of the keys on these keyboards operate much like a

desktop computer. Where a key or key function is not consistent with the PC

keyboard, the differences are noted.

The <BLUE> and <ORANGE> modiﬁer keys provide access to additional keys and

system functions. These functions are colour coded in orange and blue print above

the keyboard keys.

3.4.1 Modiﬁer Keys

The <SHIFT>, <CTRL>, <ALT>, <BLUE> and <ORANGE> keys are modiﬁer

keys. Pressing a modiﬁer key changes the function of the next key pressed. For

example, on a 58-key keyboard, a square bracket is printed in orange print above the

<4> key. Pressing the <ORANGE> key followed by the <4> key displays a square

bracket rather than the number 4.

Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535

Activating Modiﬁer Keys

36 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual

The <SHIFT>, <CTRL> and <ALT> keys operate much like a desktop keyboard

except that they are not chorded (two keys held down simultaneously). The modiﬁer

key must be pressed ﬁrst followed by the key whose function you want modiﬁed.

3.4.1.1 Activating Modiﬁer Keys

When a modiﬁer key is pressed once, it is displayed in lowercase letters in the

taskbar at the bottom of the 7535 screen. For example, if the <CTRL> key is

pressed, ctrl key is displayed at the bottom of the unit screen. Once the next key is

pressed, the modiﬁer key becomes inactive and disappears from the taskbar.

3.4.1.2 Locking Modiﬁer Keys

When a modiﬁer key is pressed twice, it is ‘locked’ on. A ‘locked’ modiﬁer key is

displayed in uppercase letters in the taskbar. For example, pressing the <BLUE> key

twice locks it on – it is displayed as BLUE KEY in the taskbar at the bottom of the

computer screen.

The locked modiﬁer key will remain active until it is pressed a third time to unlock

or turn it off. Once a modiﬁer key is unlocked (pressed a third time), the uppercase

representation at the bottom of the screen is no longer displayed.

Note: The locking function of the <ORANGE> and <BLUE> keys can be dis-

abled so that pressing either of these keys once will lock the keys ‘on’.

If you disable the ‘One Shot’ function of either of these keys, pressing the

<BLUE> and/or <ORANGE> key once will lock the key ‘on’. Pressing

the same key a second time will unlock or turn it ‘off’. Refer to “Keyboard

One Shot Modes” on page 94 for details.

3.4.2 The Keys

The <SHIFT> Key

The <SHIFT> key is used to display uppercase alpha characters and provide access

to the symbols above the numeric keys.

The Arrow Keys

The Arrow keys move the cursor around the screen in the direction of the arrow –

up, down, left and right. The cursor is the ﬂashing box or underline character that

indicates where the next character you type will appear.

Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 37

Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535

The 58-Key Keyboard

The <BKSP/DEL> Key

The <BKSP> key (sometimes referred to as destructive backspace) moves the

cursor one character to the left, erasing the incorrectly entered key stroke.

The <DEL> key (<BLUE> <BKSP>) erases the character at the cursor position.

The <CTRL> And <ALT> Key

The <CTRL> and <ALT> keys modify the function of the next key pressed and are

application dependent.

The <TAB> Key

Typically, the <TAB> key moves the cursor to the next ﬁeld to the right or

downward.

The <ESC> Key

Generally, this key is used as a keyboard shortcut to close the current menu,

dialogue box or activity and return to the previous one.

The <SPACE> Key

Pressing this key inserts a blank space between characters. In a Windows dialogue

box, pressing the <SPACE> key enables (√) or disables a checkbox.

The <SCAN> Key

Pressing the <SCAN> key – the yellow key with the star-burst scan symbol on it –

activates the scanner beam while pressed. For units that do not have internal

scanners, this key is inoperable.

3.4.3 The 58-Key Keyboard

In addition to alphanumeric keys that are directly accessible on the keyboard (no key

combination is required) and the keys described in this chapter, the 58-key keyboard

also provides function keys and macro keys.

Function keys <F1> through <F24> can be used with the CE operating system or

another application. The additional function keys – <F25> through <F30> along

with the macros are not used as part of the Windows CE operating system.

All function keys and macro keys can be custom deﬁned for each application. The

Tekterm application utilizes these keys. Refer to “Additional Keyboard Functions”

on page 147 for details about Tekterm keys.

Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535

The 36-Key Keyboard

38 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual

3.4.4 The 36-Key Keyboard

On 36-key 7535s, all alpha characters are printed on the unit plastic in orange

typeface above the numeric keys. To access an alpha character, you must ﬁrst press

the <ORANGE> key and then press the numeric key above which the alpha

character you want to type is printed.

Because the alpha keys on a 36-key keyboard are laid out much like the letters on a

telephone – generally in groups of three letters per numeric key – you need to take a

few extra steps to access the alphabetic characters. The examples in this section help

illustrate how to access alpha characters.

Choosing A Single Alpha Character

Note: Keep in mind that the following examples assume that ‘One Shot’ is

enabled for the <ORANGE> key. Refer to “Keyboard One Shot Modes”

on page 94 for details.

The examples below illustrate how to access A, B and C, all of which are printed in

orange characters above the numeric key, <2>.

To choose the letter ‘a’:

• Press the <ORANGE> key, and press the numeric key <2>.

To choose the letter ‘b’:

• Press the <ORANGE> key twice to lock it ‘on’, and press <2> twice.

• Press the <ORANGE> key again to unlock or turn it off.

To choose the letter ‘c’:

• Press the <ORANGE> key twice to lock it ‘on’.

• Press <2> three times, and then

• Press the <ORANGE> key again to unlock or turn it off.

Creating Uppercase Letters

To display a capital letter:

• Press the <ORANGE> key and then the <SHIFT> key before typing the

alpha character.

Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 39

Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535

The 36-Key Keyboard

Choosing More Than One Alpha Character From The Same Key

If you need to choose more than one alpha character from a single key, you’ll need

to press the ‘Accept’ key between alpha selections. The ‘Accept’ key is presented as

an arrow ⇒ symbol above the ‘0’ (zero) key. Pressing this key signals the 7535 to

display the alpha character you’ve chosen and await the next selection from the

same key.

For example, suppose you want to type the letters ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’. These letters are

all accessible from the numeric key, <2>.

To type the letter ‘a’:

• Press the <ORANGE> key twice to lock it ‘on’, and then press the numeric

key, <2>.

• Press the ‘Accept’ key < ⇒> to indicate that the letter ‘a’ should be

accepted and that another letter from the same key will be chosen.

To type the letter ‘b’:

• Press the <2> key twice.

• Press < ⇒> to accept the letter ‘b’.

To type the letter ‘c’:

• Press the <2> key three times.

When you have completed your alpha selections from this key, you can do one of the

following:

• If you want to choose additional alpha characters from another key(s),

leave the <ORANGE> key ‘on’, and press the next numeric key that

supports the alpha character you require.

• If you do not want to choose any additional alpha characters, press

<ORANGE> again to unlock or turn ‘off’ the key and end alpha selection.

Choosing Multiple Alpha Characters From A Range Of Keys

If you plan on choosing alpha characters from a number of different keys, you are

not required to press the ‘Accept’ < ⇒> key after each alpha selection. The < ⇒>

key is only required when you are choosing more than one alpha character from the

same key – e.g., ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’ from the <2> key.

Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535

The Keypad Backlight

40 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual

accessed from the numeric keys <2>, <3> and <4>.

• With the <ORANGE> key locked ‘on’ (press twice), press <2> to type the

letter ‘a’.

• Press <3> to type ‘d’, and press <4> to type the letter ‘g’.

• To end alpha selection, press the <ORANGE> key a third time to unlock it.

3.4.5 The Keypad Backlight

The intensity of the keypad backlight and the conditions under which this backlight

is activated can be conﬁgured using the Keyboard icon in the Windows CE Control Panel.

The behaviour of the keypad backlight is tailored in the Keyboard Properties dialogue box.

Refer to “Keyboard Backlight” on page 93 for details about this option.

Note: Keep in mind that this option may be restricted to supervisory use only.

3.5 The Display

7535s are equipped with display backlighting to improve character visibility in low

light conditions. The backlight switches on when a key is pressed and the ambient

light is below the set threshold. A light sensor on the front of the hand-held

determines the ambient light level. On some displays, the contrast can also be

adjusted to further improve character visibility.

3.5.1 Adjusting The Display Backlight

The behaviour of the display backlight – the ambient light threshold below which

the backlight will become active and the intensity of the backlight – can be speciﬁed

in the Display Properties dialogue box in the Windows CE Control Panel.

Note: Refer to “Display Backlight” on page 89 for details about the Display

Properties dialogue box.

Modiﬁer Key Indicators

<SHIFT>, <CTRL>, <ALT>, <BLUE> and <ORANGE> are modiﬁer keys that

have onscreen indicators to show when a key is active or locked. If a modiﬁer key is

pressed once to activate it, the key is displayed in the taskbar in lowercase characters

– for example, pressing the <BLUE> key once displays blue key in the taskbar. If a

modiﬁer key is pressed twice, it is ‘locked on’ and the onscreen indicator is

displayed in uppercase letters in the taskbar – for example, pressing <BLUE> twice

displays BLUE KEY in the taskbar.

Battery Gauge

The battery shaped icon displayed in the taskbar provides a visual indication of the

remaining battery power. The icon acts as a meter that is either full, at three-quarter

level, half, quarter level or empty.

When the battery level is low – approximately 15 minutes from empty – a warning

window pops up. When the battery power is completely depleted, a ﬁnal warning

window indicates that the 7535 will be powered down.

If the 7535 is using external AC power, an AC icon is displayed in the taskbar.

3.7 Internal Scanners

Important: For detailed scanner speciﬁcations and decode zone tables, refer

to “Internal Scanner Speciﬁcations” beginning on page 281.

The scanner installed in your unit can be conﬁgured using the Scanner Properties

dialogue box in the Control Panel.

The 7535 can be equipped with a:

• One dimensional (1D) internal laser scanner,

• Internal PDF laser scanner, or a

• Two dimensional (2D) internal imager scanner.

It is critical that you review the warnings listed in “Laser Warnings” on page xvi in

the Approvals and Safety section at the beginning of this manual before using any of

the scanners described in this chapter. “Scanning Techniques” outlines the

mechanics of a successful scan. In addition, review “Scan LED Indicators” on

page 49 to better understand how to interpret whether or not a bar code has been

successfully scanned. Finally, “Troubleshooting” on page 50 provides some helpful

suggestions should the scan fail.

Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 49

Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535

Scanning Techniques

3.7.1 Scanning Techniques

Note: The scanning techniques described here apply to internal and external

scanners.

• Hold the scanner at an angle. Do not hold it perpendicular to the bar code.

•Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. In this position, light can

reﬂect back into the scanner’s exit window and prevent a successful decode.

• Scan the entire bar code. If you are using a 1D or PDF laser scanner, make

certain that the scan beam crosses every bar and space on the bar code,

including the margins on either end of the symbol.

• If you are using a 2D imaging scanner, make certain the red, oval shaped

framing mark is centered within the bar code you want to scan.

• Hold the scanner farther away for larger bar codes.

• Hold the scanner closer for bar codes with bars that are close together.

3.7.2 Scan LED Indicators

The 7535 scanner LED (the lower-left LED) indicates whether or not your scan is

successful. The LED behaves as follows:

• Scan In Progress: scan LED displays solid red colour.

• Successful Scan: scan LED displays solid green colour and turns off when

the scan is ended.

• Unsuccessful scan: scan LED ﬂashes red.

A bar code icon appears on the screen during a scan. While the scanner beam is

active, the onscreen message states – SCANNING. If the scan is successful, the bar

code data is displayed on the screen until the scan button (or pistol trigger) is

released.

Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535

Troubleshooting

50 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual

3.7.3 Troubleshooting

If the scanner is not working, investigate the following:

• Is the 7535 on?

• Check that the bar code symbology being scanned is enabled for the 7535

you are using. Check any other parameters that affect the scanning proce-

dure or the bar code.

• Check the bar code to make sure it is not damaged. Try scanning a different

bar code to verify that the problem is not with the bar code.

• Check that the bar code is within the proper range.

• Does the hand-held display the warning without scanning? This suggests a

hardware problem in the 7535.

• Is the laser beam scanning across the bar code?

• Once the scan beam has stopped, check the scanner window for

dirt or fogging.

3.7.4 Operating One Dimensional (1D) Internal Laser Scanners

• Turn the 7535 on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.

Important: If an aiming dot is available on the installed scanner, the dot will

be enabled for a conﬁgurable time period (including off), after

which normal scanning begins. Refer to “Dot Time (msec)” on

page 120 for details.

Double-clicking the trigger will override the aiming delay and

initiate an immediate scan. Note that the aiming dot is standard

on long-range and high visibility internal scanners.

• Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger. A scan beam and a

warning indicator appear until a successful decode is achieved or six

seconds have elapsed.

Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 51

Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535

Operating Internal PDF Laser Scanners

3.7.5 Operating Internal PDF Laser Scanners

This scanner decodes PDF417 two-dimensional bar codes.

• Turn the 7535 on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.

• Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger. The beam expands

into a rectangle covering the bar code to properly scan it. The scan beam

and a warning indicator are visible until a successful decode is achieved or

three seconds have elapsed.

3.7.6 Operating Internal Two Dimensional (2D) Imager Scanners

An imager scanner takes a snap shot of a single bar code or multiple bar codes (at

one time). It can ﬁnd a bar code regardless of its orientation – that is, even a bar code

printed at a 45 degree angle to the 7535 will be decoded successfully.

Note: When scanning multiple bar codes, ensure that all of the desired bar

codes are within the ﬁeld of view of the scanner. It is possible that even

when all bar codes are within the ﬁeld of view, not all of them may be

decoded. Only successfully decoded bar codes are passed to the applica-

tion program. The application program then issues a warning, asking that

you scan the missing bar codes.

When scanning a single bar code, ensure that only the desired bar code is

within the ﬁeld of view of the scanner.

Because imager scanners generally have a shorter depth of ﬁeld than laser scanners,

some practise may be required to ﬁnd the optimal distance from the types of bar

codes being scanned. Although the imager includes illumination LEDs, ambient

light will help the imager decode the bar codes, especially if the bar code is far from

the 7535.

Important: Keep in mind that the imager scanner is a camera, and the LED

illumination is a ﬂash. Glare can be an issue on reﬂective media

such as plastic coated bar codes, just as glare is an issue for pho-

tographers. When pointing at a shiny surface, either shift the bar

code to the side or top, or angle the bar code so that the glare

reﬂects away from the imager scanner.

• Turn the 7535 computer on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.

• Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger.

Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535

Connecting & Disconnecting Tethered Peripherals

52 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual

• When the scan button or trigger is pressed, a red, oval shaped light (the

framing marker) is displayed. Centre the framing marker in the ﬁeld – either

in the centre of the bar code you want to scan or in the centre of the area in

which multiple bar codes are to be scanned.

Illumination LEDs will ﬂash and a picture of the bar code(s) is taken.

3.8 Connecting & Disconnecting Tethered Peripherals

Tethered peripherals such as scanners and printers connect to the hand-held

computer with a quick release, circular connector. When a peripheral is connected to

the hand-held, the 7535 detects the peripheral and loads the necessary drivers for it.

An icon in the taskbar at the bottom of the screen provides a visual representation of

the peripheral and indicates that it is ready for operation.

To attach the peripheral to the round, tether port on the side of the 7535:

• Insert the barrel of the plug into the tether port and rotate slowly until

it clicks into place. The red dot on the port and on the connector should

be aligned.

Figure 3.8 Attaching The Cable To The Tether Port

Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 53

Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535

Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time

To remove the peripheral:

• Grasp the shell of the plug, and pull it back gently to unlock and release the

connector.

Figure 3.9 Disconnecting The Tether Cable

Important: Never attempt to disconnect a peripheral by pulling the connector

by the wire. The connector is locked into place and can only be

unlocked and removed by pulling back the plug shell.

3.9 Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time

Under normal operating conditions, fully charged batteries last for 10 hours. As

Lithium-Ion batteries age, their capacity decreases gradually, and they are generally

considered depleted after approximately 2 years of use (less than 60% of original

capacity remaining). Keep in mind however that heavy usage or operating the 7535

at temperature extremes will shorten the battery life.

Lithium-Ion batteries do not require conditioning cycles and the 7535 battery

system (including chargers) requires no user interaction to maintain peak

performance.

Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535

Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time

54 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual

To maximize the run time of your batteries, consider the following:

• The display backlight is the largest drain on the battery. Try to keep its

brightness as low as possible.

• The hand-held is ‘event’ driven – that is, when the unit is not in use, it

reverts to sleep mode (even when it appears to be running), saving battery

power. Events include a key press, touchscreen taps and scan triggers.

Power consumption is reduced if you avoid unnecessary events, and allow

the unit to sleep as much as possible.

• The 7535 battery is a ‘smart battery’ with built-in intelligence. The taskbar

battery icon is a linear gauge used to estimate the remaining run time of the

battery. It is important to note that the battery capacity icon displays quarter

percentages of nominal capacity (the capacity of a new battery). An aged

battery, even when fully charged, shows somewhat less capacity than

nominal.

Double-tapping on the battery icon displays a dialogue box that provides

detailed information about the battery status and performance. If the

remaining capacity indication seems inaccurate, the battery may need recal-

ibration. Recalibration requires that the battery be fully charged, discharged

and then charged again before use. If the battery is fully discharged and

charged on a regular basis, recalibration should not be necessary.

• When the hand-held is switched off, it goes into a low-power, suspend state

but continues to draw a small amount of power from the battery. This

should not be an issue unless the unit is left in suspend state for more than a

week – in this case, the battery should be removed.

• Batteries left unused for durations of more than one or two months should

be fully charged, discharged and then charged again before use. This recali-

brates the gas gauge and allows the internal electronics to determine the

actual capacity of the battery.

• The hand-held can determine when the useful life of the battery has expired

and will notify the user. Chargers may reject batteries that have exceeded

their lifespan.

Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 55

Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535

Storing Batteries

3.9.1 Storing Batteries

Long term battery storage is not recommended. If storage is necessary:

• Always try to use a ‘ﬁrst-in ﬁrst-out’ approach to minimize storage time.

• Lithium-Ion batteries age much faster at elevated temperatures. Store bat-

teries at temperatures between 0˚ C and 20˚C.

• Always charge batteries to 40 to 60% before storing them. Batteries can be

damaged by an over-discharge phenomenon that occurs when an empty

battery is stored for a long period of time such that the cell voltage drops

below a lower limit.

• To minimize storage degradation, recharge stored batteries to 40 to 60%

every 4 or 6 months to prevent over-discharge damage.

• A ‘never used’ Li-Ion battery that has been stored for 3 years may have

limited or no useful life remaining once put into service. Think of batteries

as perishable goods.

3.10 Monitoring The Network Connection

If your hand-held is equipped with a wireless LAN radio, it will typically associate

with the nearest access point. The radio signal quality meter in the taskbar indicates

the relative strength of the communication link.

To access the radio signal icon from the keyboard:

• Press <BLUE> <0> to display the Start Menu.

• Choose System Tray from the menu.

• Use the <LEFT> and <RIGHT> arrow keys to highlight the radio signal

icon in the taskbar.

• Press <ENTER> to display the wireless statistics box dialogue box.

If you have a touchscreen:

• Tap on the radio icon in the taskbar to display the wireless statistics

dialogue box.

Note: Moving in and out of the radio coverage area can have varying effects on

a network session. At times, you may need to renew your connection by

logging in again.

Uploading Data In A Docking Station

56 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual

3.11 Uploading Data In A Docking Station

The Combo Docking and Quad Docking peripherals allow the 7535 to link to an

Ethernet network. They are typically used to upload transaction data to a server

computer when a radio link in not available. When a 7535 is properly inserted in a

docking station, a dock icon is displayed in the taskbar at the bottom of the 7535

screen. The 7535 also detects the presence of the Ethernet network. Review the

documentation provided with the user application installed in your 7535 before

preforming data uploads.

3.12 General Maintenance

3.12.1 Caring For The Touchscreen

The top of the touchscreen is a thin, ﬂexible polyester plastic sheet with a

conductive coating on the inside. The polyester can be permanently damaged by

harsh chemicals and is susceptible to abrasions and scratches. Using sharp objects

on the touchscreen can scratch or cut the plastic, or crack the internal conductive

coating.

The chemicals listed below must not come into contact with the touchscreen:

• mustard,

• sodium hydroxide,

• concentrated caustic solutions,

• benzyl alcohol, and

• concentrated miner acids.

If the touchscreen is used in harsh environments, consider applying a disposable

screen protector (PN HU6110). These covers reduce the clarity of the display

slightly but will dramatically extend the useful life of the touchscreen. When they

become scratched and abraded, they are easily removed and replaced.

Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7535

Cleaning The 7535

3.12.2 Cleaning The 7535

Important: Do not immerse the unit in water. Dampen a soft cloth with mild

detergent to wipe the unit clean.

• Use only mild detergent or soapy water to clean the hand-held unit.

• Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals for cleaning. The

7535 has a plastic case that is susceptible to harsh chemicals. The plastic is

partially soluble in oils, mineral spirits and gasoline. The plastic slowly

decomposes in strong alkaline solutions.

• To clean ink marks from the keypad and touchscreen, use isopropyl

alcohol.

Navigating In Windows CE And Applications

4.1 Navigating In Windows CE And Applications

Graphic user interfaces like Windows CE for portable devices and desktop Windows

(2000, XP, etc.) utilize ‘point and click’ navigation. An equivalent keyboard shortcut

is also available for every ‘point and click’ action.

Windows CE supports the same ‘point and click’ user interface and keyboard

shortcuts as desktop Windows with one difference – the ‘point and click’ action is

accomplished using a touchscreen rather than a mouse. Actions can be performed

using any combination of keyboard shortcuts or touchscreen tapping (provided your

7535 is equipped with a touchscreen).

4.1.1 Navigating Using A Touchscreen And Stylus

Note: If the touch screen is not registering your screen taps accurately, the

touchscreen may need recalibration. Refer to “Calibrating The Touch-

screen” on page 41.

A touchscreen is an optional feature. A 7535 equipped with a touchscreen has a

stylus – a pointing tool that looks like a pen – stored in a slot at the top of the 7535.

The stylus is used to select objects on the touchscreen.

Note: To prevent damage to the touchscreen, use only the stylus (pen)

supplied with your 7535.

To open a ﬁle, launch an applet or open a folder:

• Double-tap the stylus on the appropriate icon.

Switch State To Suspend

Important: Psion Teklogix recommends setting the Suspend value to 10 min-

utes. Setting ‘Switch State To Suspend’ to ‘Never’ will adversely

affect the battery run time.

To further reduce power consumption, carefully consider the

duration of time that the display backlight is ‘on’ (see “Display

Backlight” on page 89).

When the 7535 is idle – not receiving any user input (a key touch, a scan, and so on)

or system activity (serial data, an activity initiated by an application, and so on), the

hand-held uses the value assigned in the Switch State To Suspend ﬁeld to determine when

the unit will go to sleep (appear to be off).

When the time in the Suspend ﬁeld elapses without any activity, the unit enters Suspend

state. In Suspend state, the 7535 CPU enters a sleep state, and the radio is shut off. The

state of the device (RAM contents) is preserved. Pressing <ENTER> wakes the

system from suspend state. When the 7535 is in suspend state, the network

connection will not be broken immediately. If the connection is dropped, you must

re-establish the network connection.

5.5.4.3 Suspend Threshold

• In the Power Properties dialogue box, open the Suspend Threshold tab.

Figure 5.19 Suspend Threshold Properties

Suspend Threshold

The sliding bar in this tab is used to set the battery capacity (as a percentage value)

at which the hand-held will be forced into a suspend state. For example, if you slide

the bar in the Suspend Threshold tab to the right to the 10% level, when the battery

capacity falls to 10%, the 7535 will enter suspend state. You will not be able to

resume until the battery is charged, or you operate the 7535 using AC power. The

allowable threshold ranges from 0 to 50%. The default value is 0%.

Note: The7535 hand-held does not enter suspend state when it is using

AC power.

Display Parameters

Scan Result

When this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the type of bar code and the result of

the scan appear on the screen. Note that this information is only displayed after a

successful decode and is visible only while the scanner trigger is pressed. When the

trigger is released, this information is cleared from the screen.

Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 119

Chapter 5: Conﬁguration

Scanner Options

Scan Indicator

When this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the laser warning logo appears on the

display whenever the scanner is activated.

Scan Result Time (sec)

The value assigned to the “Scan Result Time (sec)” parameter determines how long

the scan results of a successful scan are displayed on the screen. Time is measured in

seconds, and a value of “0” (zero) disables the parameter.

Note: To remove the scan result from the screen before the “Result Time” has

expired, point the scanner away from the bar code and press the trigger.

Scan Beep

This parameter determines whether or not the 7535 emits an audible scanner ‘beep’

when a scan is performed. Set this parameter to either ‘ON’ to enable the beeper or

‘OFF’ to disable it.

Scan Log File

If this parameter is enabled, the input barcode and the modiﬁed/translated output bar

code are logged in the ﬁle \Flash Disk\ScanLog.txt. Keep in mind that if the ‘Scan

Log File’ is enabled, there is a slight performance effect when performing multiple

scans since the log ﬁle is written to persistent storage.

Double Click Parameters

Click Time (msec)

This parameter controls the maximum gap time (in milliseconds) for a double-click.

If the time between the ﬁrst and second clicks of the scanner trigger is within this

time, it is considered a double-click. The allowable range is 0 to 1000. A value of

zero disables this feature.

A double-click produces different results depending on whether or not a value is

assigned in the “Click Data” parameter. When a value is not assigned for the “Click

Data”, double-clicking the scanner trigger overrides the target dot delay set in the

“Dot Time” parameter and initiates a normal scan sweep. If a value is assigned for

the “Click Data” parameter, double-clicking the scanner trigger inserts the “Click

Data” value rather than initiating a scan.

Click Data

For both integrated and external scanners, this parameter determines which

character is sent to the application installed in your 7535 following a double-click.

A dialogue box appears, asking that you press the key you want to insert. The

ASCII/Unicode key value of the keypress is displayed.

Pressing the <ESC> key in this dialogue box resets the data to zero.

Options

Dot Time (msec)

The value selected for “Dot Time (msec)” determines (in milliseconds) how long the

targeting dot remains on before the scanner switches to a normal scan sweep. The

allowable values are: 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0

seconds. A value of 0 (zero) disables the target dot.

Short Code

When enabled (set to ‘ON’), this parameter allows scanning of short I 2 of 5 bar

codes (2 characters). When disabled, these short bar codes are rejected.

Enabling “Short Code” may reduce the robustness of the decoding since the

7535 must decode more potential bar codes; it is therefore not recommended for

general-purpose bar codes with 4 or more characters.

Verify

The value entered for this parameter determines the number of correct additional

decodes required after the initial decode before a bar code is accepted. Higher

values signiﬁcantly increase the time it takes to decode a bar code but also improve

the reliability of the decoded bar code.

Security

This parameter controls the tolerance for decoding edge-to-edge bar codes

(Code 93, Code 128, UPC/EAN). Lower values have a lower tolerance for misreads,

but they also increase the time it takes to decode the bar code. The default value of

30 is generally a good compromise setting.

Bar Codes

5.7.2 Bar Codes

Figure 5.46 Bar Code Selection

All the available bar code symbologies can be selected from this menu.

Important: To improve the decode speed and performance, enable (set to

‘ON’) only those codes that are required by the application.

Keep in mind that some bar code types are only available when an internal imaging

scanner is installed. The bar code settings do not affect the operation of internal or

external decoded scanners. These scanners must be conﬁgured by scanning special

conﬁguration bar codes. These conﬁguration bar codes affect the communication

speed or data format between the scanner and the 7535 and must not be changed.

The scanner manufacturer provides programming manuals for conﬁguration

purposes.

• For Symbol, refer to “Programming Guide P300”.

• For PSC, refer to “Powerscan Programing guide (PSC)”.

5.7.2.1 Code 39 Settings

Full Ascii

If this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the characters +, %, and / are used as

escape characters. The combination of an escape character and the next character

is converted to an equivalent ASCII character.

Include Check

If this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the check digit is included with the

decoded bar code data.

Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 123

Chapter 5: Conﬁguration

Code 39 Settings

AIAG Strip

If this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the AIAG data identiﬁer is removed from

each decoded Code 39 label. The data identiﬁer occurs in the ﬁrst position next to

the Code 39 start character. It can be a single alphabetic character or a series of

numeric digits followed by an alphabetic character. This identiﬁer deﬁnes the

general category or speciﬁc use of the data contained in the rest of the bar code.

Note: If your unit is operating with the Psion Teklogix TESS application, this

parameter should not be used in conjunction with the TESS AIAG feature.

This is because the 7535 hand-held performs the strip function before it

processes the data through the AIAG feature; if the preﬁx is stripped, the

data is not identiﬁed as AIAG.

Error Accept

If the “Err Accept” and “AIAG Strip” parameters are enabled (set to ‘ON’), all label

data without an AIAG identiﬁer character is accepted. If the “Err Accept” parameter

is disabled and the “AIAG Strip” parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the label data is

not accepted.

Mod Checks

Mod 43 Check

If this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the Mod 43 check digit is calculated.

Mod 10 Check

If this parameter is enabled (set to ‘ON’), the Mod 10 check digit is calculated.

None

If you choose ‘None’, a check is not executed.

Field Size/Chars

Field Size

The ﬁeld size is the length of the ﬁeld after the ﬁrst character is stripped and

the preﬁx and sufﬁx characters are added. If the ﬁeld size is non-zero, only

bar codes of that length are passed through.

Chapter 5: Conﬁguration

Code 128 Settings

124 Psion Teklogix 7535 Hand-Held Computer User Manual

Preﬁx Char

This character, if non-zero, is added before a successfully decoded bar code. Press

the key you want to insert in the dialogue box attached to this parameter. The

ASCII/Unicode key value of the keypress is displayed.

Pressing the <ESC> key in this dialogue box resets the data to zero.

Sufﬁx Char

Note: The appended character is treated as any other keyboard character.

For example, if <BKSP> is pressed, the usual action for that key is

performed. If your unit is operating with the Psion Teklogix ANSI

emulation application, the 7535 transmits the escape sequence

associated with the function immediately after the bar code data.

This character, if non-zero, is added after a successfully decoded bar code. Press the

key you want to insert in the dialogue box attached to this parameter. The

ASCII/Unicode key value of the keypress is displayed.

Pressing the <ESC> key in this dialogue box resets the data to zero.

Strip Leading

This parameter determines the number of characters that will be removed from the

beginning of the bar code before the preﬁx character is added.

Note: For Code 39 bar codes, the “AIAG Strip” is performed before the

“Strip Leading”.

Strip Trailing

The value entered in this parameter determines the number of characters that will be

removed from the end of the bar code before the sufﬁx character is added.

5.7.2.2 Code 128 Settings

Include Sym

Setting “Include Sym” to ‘ON’ causes the group separator(s) and start code

contained in this type of bar code to be displayed on the screen.

Note: This option is available only when ‘EAN/UCC 128’ is selected.
